Mon Nom est Rouge

straight baby powder to me but its soo addicting to smell. its like petrol. i wouldn't want to wear it but i love to smell it again and again. smells very powdery with a hint of spice. my mom loves this though, so i view it as an 'older lady' fragrance

This is really beautiful. I agree with the comparisons to Epic Woman (both are Cecile Zarokian creations). However, Epic Woman didn't click with me as perfectly as Mon Nom Est Rouge does. MNER has that cardamom edge that I love, and is just a touch airier, so a more wearable rose for me. Also, I will choose this over Epic Woman anyday, for the simple fact that they offer multiple different size bottles: 10ml, 50ml or 100ml. Amouage please take note!

This scent is so fierce and unyielding. You will smell it allllll day. I am a huge oversprayer tbh bc my skin swallows everything I can spray an amouage 8 times and my coworkers won’t smell it. But this one I did 2 sprays and the whole building could smell me. Luckily they adored it and one girl bought it retail full price on the spot. It is pretty similar to epic woman as everyone has noted, but to me this reads a bit more edgy and masculine. It’s replaced the caraway with cardamom and the way the rose behaves is less ladylike though I’m sure that doesn’t make sense and is my interpretation since the girls at work wanted it for themselves. I would not own both this and epic personally the similarity is that apparent. I think epic is a better blended scent objectively but this one is only a hair less balanced and it suits my tastes a bit more so I’m glad I have it instead.

A fragrance full of love, passion, and joy. I don’t know if any other scent will ever stir such deep feelings in me. A bouquet full of roses at its heart, wrapped in spicy warmth.

the most pure cola scent absolutely nothing interesting for me way too sweet and lineal

I got a decant and l LOVE it! Pure rose incense delight and long lasting. I discovered that layering Roses Vanille from Mancera and Full Incense from Montale smell very similar! I am in heaven because l have those two and don't need to buy another perfume!

This is a straight up replica of epic women by amouge. Exactly the same!!

Mon Nom est Rouge has made its way directly into my "must-haves." With the first spray, I was left stunned: a powerful blend of notes that instantly reminded me of the scent of a dried red rose, surrounded by spices. As it develops, this rose creates a perfect harmony with the incense, evoking a sense of well-being and even a certain freshness. I can't help but keep sniffing my wrist; it's a masterpiece. I feel transported to an Oriental night, perhaps in Istanbul, where Pamuk’s namesake book is set. Beautiful, passionate, sensual. The longevity and sillage are remarkable.

Such a complex perfume! I love it! Incense, rose with a hint of geranium, and spices—all well blended. Be careful with the dosage! If over-sprayed, it becomes more incense-heavy.

Rosey coca cola! Almost reminds me of Lubin Akkad for the powder side of it, but this has pink pepper and rose. Very nice and classy, a great suited up night scent. Incense is here, but it just adds texture, its never too much. Try this if you like: Roja Enigma Pour Homme, Lubin Akkad

such an enjoyable scent. tested it on paper and i was hooked and this one stayed on my mind even after testing a couple of 500$+ niche scents at the same time .i got a combination of spices and smoke at the opening .after one hour the smoky notes toned down and i got cardamom, ginger, rose, warm incense ,vanilla and musks and now its heavy on musks, vanilla and sandal wood after 7 hours. basically the more it sits the sweeter it gets. highly recommend you trying it out, the opening slightly reminded me of the royal tobacco from amouage but the balance of other notes with its smoky opening made it far more wearable and more to my likings.

If anyone wants this scent on a budget, it's very similar to davine's hair care product's signature scent. Specifically, their all in one milk. I'd still get the perfume if for nothing else but the bottle design.

Her name is Scarlet. Or Maroon. She’s a red bordering on black. She’s a spicy beast and she will kick you in the teeth if you speak to her with disrespect. This is an 80s shoulder pad board room shark. Or conversely a 90s goth. This is a dominatrix who’s always fully booked. I get very little rose or sweetness from this. It’s incense and cumin. In the dry down I get a fair dose of patchouli and a waft of weed. I just tried Loubifunk and although I like that one there’s no “funk” in it. Mon nom is Funk- unapologetic funk.

My full bottle has arrived! The smooth pebble bottle, the wood cap, the 32% oil Parfum inside, it’s all art. Majda puts some real heart into this gorgeous fragrance. Incense must be a love for her, it sure is me. The rose is perfect, this is an amped down rose amped up incense version of Portrait of a Lady, but better. This stuff is monster on performance as well. Damn, so happy I found this scent. 10/10

This is true olfactive and presentation artistry. I don’t find this feminine at all. I think it’s in the middle. Portrait of a Lady is more feminine than this one. This is less sweet and more incense. POAL incense came through very nice on my skin, but it wasn’t enough as rose steals the show. Mom mom is perfect to me. Dry incense forward, rose in the background (on me). It reminds me slightly of Kilian Incense Oud, which is in my top 5 fragrances ever made. I love Majdas offerings because I absolutely love incense. It’s one of my favorite notes in perfumary. This marks the end of my sample. I just ordered a bottle of that tells you what I think of this fragrance. I wore it today and it lasted much longer than I thought it was going to last. I had a bottle of incense Oud by Kilian on order, but then got a message from the seller saying they already sold it. Oh well, I saved $180 by getting a 50ml of this. I am impressed with Bekkali’s use of incense, I am very picky with incense, but this is just magnificent! 9.5/10

I’m not into roses . But this is stunning. High temperature,texturized,almost savory and spicy in beginning rose amber, evolving, sometimes dry and hot, dark and luminous , very present and not heavy at all. Vampy and classy with beautiful performance.

I really tried to like it but I do not. Great quality and lasts for days, even after you shower. It is for people why like Portrait if a lady and Blossom love type of fragrances. Not saying it smells like those but has the same vibe.

Such a cool, complex scent! Reminds me of enjoying vanilla rose jam on toast with incense burning in the room. Not too rosey or smokey. Such a beautiful, comfortable depth to this, and it's so well balanced! It's not an everyday wear for me, since I'm not crazy for rose, I just HAD to try a bunch from this brand.

Smell of incense and spices is so deep and sensual. I love every minute I wear it on me. It so unisex, even my father is wearing same perfume and it smells rich and spicy. Good for winter period.

Similar to Amouage Epic only Mon nom est rouge are sweeter. Feminine, elegant, and can definitely be your signature. A wonderful, luxurious, warm and deep scent that knocks you off your feet. Compliments guaranteed!

On my skin, it's an odd dichotomy between prominent elemi and ginger, and prominent amber cinnamon. I can tell all of these ingredients are of good providence, but they compete for space and it makes it off balance for me. The quality seems like it's there, and I typically enjoy the scents individually, but it feels muddled on my skin. That said, it's still pretty good because I can tell there's good stock in this juice. Just needs a little focus and better direction of what it wants to be. Scent 6.6/10 Performance 7/10

The elemi here probably smells like olibanum or frankincense, but is resinous in a bit sour way. The smoky churchy side of it is beautiful, but in this regard I personally prefer Armani Prive Sable Nuit. And from aromatic stand point, it reminds me of Amouage Epic pour femme, but I find Epic richer and more complex and doesn’t have the “red” side to it. Which Amouage Lyric pour femme has and does it even better by muffling then sourness of the resins. If you like all these, it’s worth exploring MNeR, which combines the qualities of all three. If that particular scent profile slot in your collection is still vacant, MNeR can be the gateway to your infatuation with other similar perfumes and their emphasis on certain notes or accords. The drydown is very nice and soft and blends well with the skin. Gives the sensation of natural ingredients. But some cold ginger-geranium note comes in, which I associate with Nishane Nanshe. As if the red coldness of Nanshe was drenched in the warm resins of Amouage Material and topped with Amouage Epic and takes you through a photoalbum of a portfolio. Cecile is quite a pragmatic perfumer it seems and although there’s nothing wrong with playing it safe, I wish to see more of her inspired side - taking some uncharted routs and bring us along. Like many creators out there who are willing to take chances, she doesn’t know what her wings are capable of until she makes a leap out of the comfort zone. Or not - then she can establish as The Andrier of Epic-Nanshe spectrum, and we’ll enjoy that too. And for the record, I didn’t read the reviews below prior to capturing my own thoughts to avoid being suggested impressions which aren’t my own. Also, I hadn’t looked up who the perfumer was, until now, when the pieces started clicking together while I was writing down my experience. All aforementioned perfumes are made of accords that are mixed and matched and shuffled to display seemingly different results. What I mean by that: think of a Pavlova cake - it reminds you of fresh cream (cuz it has some); of meringue (cuz it has some), of fruit (cuz it has some), of fruit AND cream (cuz it has the combo), of meringue with cream (cuz it has the combo) etc … you get my point… and if you like the ingredients you can go explore all “new” recipes from the same chef. It’s going to be a pleasant experience. And see which balance of ingredients and combinations gets your taste just right and recognize your keeper.

Cumin really ruins this blend for me. Powerful, yet bad. I totally agree with @violeteme on fatal and all-cosuming. I had to wash it off my wrist a minute later. Not a safe blind buy. Definitely test first.

Powerful, fatal, all-consuming. Deep dark red borderline black with all the nuances of purple, ruby. Dominant spicy incense soon develops to a resinous, spicy rose and fades to a woody amber base. Insanely beautiful and superior to Epic.

Just beautiful signature scent and total compliment getter. Cecile is genius; this is the perfume that got me into fallowing her creative path and find new and new masterpieces. Longevity as long as silage is enormous.

So I finally get a sample from this fragrance thinking that I would love it, because I do love Epic Woman from Amouage. But... The truth is that I find Epic more interesting and more complex than this one, simply because I love the cumin and the oud from there. Comparing these two side by side, you`ll notice a big difference between them. This one is a bit more fruity for me, more girly, where Epic is a more sensual fragrance, a more mature and more unisex. It`s not bad, I can appreciate a good perfume but for something more sober, elegant and for a buy, I`ll go with Epic all the way. This is a bit more sweet than Epic, because of the ginger and cardamom where Amouage`s creation is on the dry side, with the cumin predominant note. You`ll feel the difference between these two better if you try them in fresh air, especially in the cold season. In the air, Epic is magnificent. Even if both of them are Ms. Zarokian creation, I believe she did better with Amouage.

First impression: a gorgeous, complex spicy incense. There’s a smidge of sweetness, but it’s subtle. I’m absolutely surprised by the scent, and dare I say, Mon Nom est Rouge is my favorite incense perfume. This is a great perfume. I want it.

Gorgeous! The parallel to Epic by Amouage is spot on and considering the price, I'd rather take a leap to get this one before Amouage, also as its more wearable and very slightly sweeter. Really love ginger-elemis play here with rose and smoke. And really like that cumin is way toned down here. Edit Sept 2021: I did in fact get Epic, its also very fresh and fit for even summer, but Mon Nom est Rouge is still in my want-list... can't have too much of a good scent profile ;)

Easily one of my favorite rose based perfumes. Dark resinous rose, prickly green stems and the darkest red rose petals. It's opulent, misterious, spicy, just the right amount of sweet and very incense -y. Superb! Likeliness to Epic Amouage is not far off but I need both in my life. Mon nom est rouge is like the grown up sister of Epic, more rose, more amber, more of everything, whereas (and I can't believe I'm saying this) Epic is more light and carefree incense sibling. Melisandre from Game of thrones is probably wearing this perfume...

مون نوم است رژ اسم من قرمز است! بی شک بهترین قرمزی که تست کردم همین بوده. یک کار فوق العاده اغواکننده با رایحه ای سرخوشی و بولد. یک کاری که با اولین استشمام میشه متوجه شد چقدر یک کار های کلس هستش. این برند واقعا درخشان عمل میکنه و این کار به نظرم بهترین کار از این برند بوده که تا حالا تست داشتم قبل از تست توقع همون رز سابقی داشتم که قبلا در عطرهای مختلف دیده بودم ولی این یکی ؟ باید بگم ساچ ا واو . رزش کو؟ باید فکر کنی تا رز رو بفهمی! باید توجه کنین تا رز رو به اون صورت اغوا کننده درک کنین ساختار یکدست و خیلی پیچیده ای ساخته شده و من اغلب زنجیل یکم گل یکم رز که حالت بخوری به کار دادن. در پشت زمینه این ترکیب جادویی روایح دودی اندکی خودنمایی میکنه. این رایحه برای یک کور مادرزاد میتونه بهترین تعریف از رنگ قرمز باشه. وقتی قرار باشه من یک عطر رو با لحاط تمامی موارد از جمله رایحه اغواکننده ، پرفورمنس ، بازخورد از اهلش انتخاب کنم و کاملترین بدونم اولین گزینه ای که به ذهنم میاد این کار هست. اسم من قرمز هست. چه قرمزی! بی شک از نظر من بهترین کار این برند هستش ( فیوژن سکغی و تندر است لا نویت هم در رده های بعدی) . عطار هنرشو به رخ کشیده. کافیه این کار با پاف های کم پوشیده بشه و وارد یک محل بشین. غیرممکنه توجه بقیه به عطر شما جلب نشه مخصوصا با پرفورمنس بسیار بالاش و رد بو و ماندگاری عجیبش. به نظرم تمامی افراد عطر باز باید حتما از کارهای این برند رو در کلکسیون خود داشته باشن و هرگز هم اسمش رو هم به بقیه نگن تا بلایی که سر خیلی عطرها اومد سر این کارها نیاد زبانم از بیشتر نوشتن راجب این کار قاصر هست و این کار شاهکار هست!
